A great fighting game, but not a whole lot of variety or new features, and the story falls short.
Despite all that, the graphics are very good-looking and the multiplayer isn't bad. It would've been better if there were more modes besides a basic unranked/ranked versus battle to play offline/online, but it's gameplay can still prove really addictive. There are a few gameplay additions like armor(I kinda like this feature, it makes your opponent more vulnerable if you unleash heavy blows and destroy their armor), and soul gauge, which makes your opponent fatally vulnerable to a critical finishing blow if they guard too much. It's also great to see that most of the likeable characters return, with a bunch of exciting new ones, and the returning ones have been changed changed in better ways.
I got this game, but the $60 price tag is kinda a rip-off to me for a game that falls kinda short on replay value. I would recommend this game to arcade-fighter fans, and other fighting game fans, as its multiplayer is guaranteed to outlive the single player campaign by a long shot. Again, it's not a bad game, but it could've been alot better.
